Palette maker tool for PaintShop Pro If you like the idea of coordinating various elements in a page or a kit, using a set color palette is an easy way to do it.

New script – Circles and Spirals

September 30, 2022 by Cassel

You can place elements along a circle or a spiral manually, but it is quite tedious.

This script will take care of all the calculations for you and create that perfect circle or spiral with any starting element. Use beads, pearls, flowers, greenery, hearts, stars, flower petals, etc.

Use the circles for frames, and the spirals for accents.

New script – Paper Fringe

September 23, 2022 by Cassel

In order to create a paper fringe with PaintShop Pro, you will need to cut your element multiple times, and then, warp each piece one by one. But there is a problem: how do you warp one piece of paper without warping the next one? Well, there is a way to do it, but it is tedious, which is why this script will be a time saver.

With various options in the orientation, length, width, and regularity of the slits, there is also randomness integrated into the script to allow for a different result every time you run it, even if using the same settings and the same starting image.

And see what you can do when you repeat the script using multiple strips of colored papers.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever created paper fringes with paper and scissors (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sample, I created this square frame from four strips of paper that were run through the script, one by one, and then put together to make the frame. I added a little contrasting border to add some interest. Now, you can showcase your favorite photo.

New Script – Paper Strips

September 16, 2022 by Cassel

Sometimes, it can look interesting to have a series of paper strips of different colors or patterns to serve as a background for a project. However, that can be tedious and time-consuming.

This script will just do that for you in a very short time, using your papers, and your options, sprinkled with some randomness too. Every run of the script will yield a different result, even if you were to use the same papers and the same options.

The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sample, I chose to create a series of strips, aligned to the bottom, and turned them into a template so you can use it with your favorite papers. These strips are grouped so you can copy and paste them onto your project in one step (instead of copying them one by one!).

New script – Bow #19

September 9, 2022 by Cassel

Using bows and knots can be quite versatile as long as you have variety. This is the 19th type of bow in the store (and we have knots too) so using your own straight ribbon, you will have the option to create some matching bows. The script uses a random location on the ribbon so if you run the script multiple times on a patterned ribbon, you will get different results.

If you don't have a straight ribbon to use, the script can generate one for you with your choice of color, gradient or pattern.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you tend to use bows in your projects (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sampler, I created six little bows using ribbons from Janet Kemp. I layered a grosgrain ribbon with lace and flattened both. Then, I ran the script. I then ran the script on the grosgrain ribbon alone (without the lace), and since the layers were not merged, I copied and pasted the knot part only to replace the one on the "lacy" bow. It is a little more work but it shows how versatile this script can be with unmerged layers.

New script – Paper Pinwheel

August 26, 2022 by Cassel

Creating a pinwheel out of paper might sound simple using a template, but would NOT respect the correct orientation when the paper is flipped.

To help you, this script will do all the cutting, flipping and rotating needed to create a pinwheel with YOUR choice of papers. You will get 6 options for the edges, and 4 options for paper combinations. And since you can pick your own papers to create the pinwheels, the possibilities are endless.

As a sampler, I used papers from a kit called Summer Fun from Janet Kemp and created four simple pinwheels. You can get all the matching papers from this kit HERE.

New script – Admission Tickets 2

August 12, 2022 by Cassel

You can now create your own admission ticket (or other types of tickets) with this script. You get various options to incorporate into the making of it, including colors, text, fonts, texture and design.

You can create a single ticket or a series of up to six (just like you get at the carnival). Customize the tickets with various designs in the small boxes or leave them empty and you can punch holes in them (like for each visit, each coffee, etc.)

New script – Fabric Patch

August 5, 2022 by Cassel

Now, you can turn any vector shape into one of 8 fabric textures. The script will use the color you started with and will blend in the texture. You can create titles with it, frames, mats, cluster elements, etc.

The script will add stitching around the edge (you decide how close to the edge you want it and its color), and you can also have a frayed edge along the whole border. The stitching and the frayed edge will be left unmerged at the end, so you can tweak them, or remove them, or even use them separately somewhere else.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you could use those fabric patches in a project (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sample, I created some random patches in different basic colors. Use them as you wish. They are about 700 pixels in width and in png format.

New tubes – Netting C

July 29, 2022July 29, 2022 by Cassel

To create a nautical project, using netting is a common element. Recently, we had some netting picture tubes that you could use to embellish your project. This time around, the netting is variegated, giving the whole project a different look.

You get 10 different colors of picture tubes and they are seamless so if you need a net that is taller than 700 pixels, simply duplicate your layer and move it to align it up or down.

Get them in the store: Netting C

(and yes, the Netting B is missing; I was working on another set, but chose to change to a variegated set for now. Don't worry, the Netting B will be released, in the future)

The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sampler, I created a wood frame (using a script) and added three layers of netting. I distorted them irregularly, and deleted what was extending outside of the frame. I then added some seashells from the 2019 picture tubes.

New script – Travel Tag 1

July 22, 2022 by Cassel

You can now create a custom tag, with the colors from your palette, or even with some interesting patterns, and include details of your choice. Although these tags would typically be associated with travel (like a location, an airport code, etc.), you can use them for any occasion since you can choose any text you want.

Once the tag is done, tie it with a string to another element, or include it in a cluster.

For this week, the samples I made were run through the script, but I stopped it before the final merge, which allowed me to remove some of the text. This helps create "blanks" that you can fill however you need.
